Hello, list.
I am looking for the most-tested Linux distro for POWER7 architecture.
Sorry if it is not the correct list.
Regards,

One of the enterprise distributions are going to be the best bet for a
well tested and supported POWER7. They, of course, require purchasing a
subscription. If that isn't something you're looking to pay for, then
your choices are limited to the community distros like Debian. Fedora
and Ubuntu have a secondary effort, but it's somewhat stale from what I
understand.

I'm not sure there is a great list for that kind of question. Here is
as good a place as any.

Gabriel,

IBM partnered with RedHat and Novell to make sure RHEL6 and SLES11 SP1 are
well tested with POWER7. Essential back-ports and bug are included in
both of these distros. These two are the most-tested by far for
POWER7.
Mainline kernels will also work with POWER7. Any problems you have,
please feel free to report them here.

We try really hard to not add essential bugs ;).
